Taylor, 46, either had sexual or business relationships with the women, who were from New York, Atlanta, and other cities, and carried out the scheme from 2011 and 2016, authorities said.

He allegedly tricked one victim into handing over her Social Security number, opened an American Express card under her name and charged $60,000 to it. When she confronted him, Taylor allegedly threatened to send X-rated photos of her to her employer.

At Taylor’s Manhattan federal court arraignment on Thursday, defense attorney Julia Gatto said she didn’t intend to engage in any plea negotiations with prosecutors.

Taylor has been charged with wire fraud, bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and other crimes. He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

Taylor remains in federal custody pending his case on similar charges in Virginia and is set to appear in Manhattan court again on Jan. 12.
